Mole removal while pregnant

Random question... but can you get moles removed while pregnant? I've had a mole right on the very edge of my belly button for as long as I could remember, and now it is moving outward as my belly gets larger. Now would be a prime time to have it removed, but is it safe? I may have to ask my dr. about getting rid of this ugly thing!

Omg! I also have one on my belly button and was thinking the same thing- cause I swear I can almost pick it off it's poking out so much now- but of course I wouldn't do that- but it does seem like a good time to do it- but of course I worry about the fact that it's connected to my daughters life line so hmmmm- let me know, maybe I will ask ob on my appt this fri!

I have one that has gotten bigger on my back. It also needs to be removed, but unfortunately nothing can be done until after.

The reason is, dermatologists inject a numbing injection first & that is what is unhealthy for the baby. I've already inquired about this, not to mention my father-in-law whom is an OBGYN is also against it...as well as for my OBGYN.

Hi- unfortunately, no you can not remove it during pregnancy.

Ha ha! I too have a mole. It's about 2 inches above my belly button. I have already been asked a few times why I have TWO belly buttons now that both are starting to poke out a fair bit ;) I think I'll get the mole removed before my next pregnancy - the stretching is uncomfortable and the funny looks are hilarious!

I had 3 removed earlier on in this pregnancy. They had no concerns about doing so. They were also Pre cancerous so maybe that had something to do with the urgency, but I don't think there's anything bad about doing it. They even had to go as deep as my chest cavity wall to remove all the tissue around it. I would never have done it for cosmetic purposes during pregnancy though- if it's not necessary it can wait.

My mom had to have her birthmark and a few moles removed with her first pregnancy because they became precancerous. If it's just cosmetic, maybe wait until just after delivery and before your tummy goes down?
